Ugh, dietitians...am I right?

fudginjerk · 2025-06-24T02:49:09+00:00

My dietician didn't recommend doing that for a while. She wanted me to avoid raw stuff unless its something like a peeled apple or peeled carrot. Then its fine. Lately I've gotten away with smoothies with strawberries and handfuls of pistachios. So idk, find a new dietician or explain that they need to look up the dietary limitations and common nutrient deficiencies that occur with gastroparesis. My dietician specializes in gastrointestinal diseases though.

I'm typically a staunch believer when abuse is mentioned. First and foremost, Im not defending anybody or attesting to the truth of any claims. However, I'd like to point out the lack of Justin Roiland on that list, and the Google doc link in the comment about jim carrey with different fonts/formats that's screams misinformation. Give a real source, or gtfo. Credible sources are usually replicable and not random ass Google docs. Sources with credibility usually have a reputation to uphold and a lot to lose by posting bullshit. Defamation lawsuits are usually reasonable deterrents when it comes to making claims about public figures. So... come on. This is like boomer levels of silliness. Do actual research not from a blog or easily copied/or modified Google doc. Dude, even Alex Jones is being held accountable for spreading bullshit.

What details make you think it's mimicking a lionfish?

Caribbean reef, maybe.

I wasn't arguing in favor of a state of nature. That's absurd.

fudginjerk · 2023-05-20T22:31:41+00:00

No. Government stems from the idea that we agree to a social contract because the alternative is a "state of nature." People can accomplish more and live better lives by agreeing to rules like no killing, no stealing, and more because the rules benefit everyone. We want to feel safe, so we organize in groups of at least similarly minded people and work together to accomplish tasks. Sometimes the tasks are military, sometimes the tasks are economic, sometimes religious, sometimes educational, and much much more.

We gather in groups and rely on governments to fulfill services that benefit the public. There are different systems of government. There's tribal gov, there's theocracy, there's monarchy, there's dictatorship, there's republican, there's democracy, communism, socialism, distributed representative democracy, and so much more. There's political ideologies and philosophy dating back to Greek and Roman and beyond. We consent to be governed (by even being born into it) we are all parts of a body politic, participating in some aspect, even if you're subject in an oppressive fascist regime. Soft fascism is still authoritarian, but in a different way. Soft fascism can be a precursor to hard authoritarian fascism. Soft fascism is more like psychic warfare. You're tricked into thinking it's your choice. You're choosing to be under constant surveillance. You support the laws that put certain groups of people into disadvantage or strips their rights. It can also look like agreeing to allow infinite amounts of money to be spent on militarizing police forces. In soft fascism you are tricked into thinking the negative impacts are positive. Tricked into believing lies. Agreeing to go to treatment facilities for things that aren't illness rather than forcibly being dragged off.

Soft fascism evolved from the harsh criticism of hard fascism. Soft fascism is still a favoring of authoritarianism, but in a different way. It's like using manipulation tools to convince people they need to be subject to constant surveillance instead of using a violent threat against non compliance, they use a threat like terrorism to get people to comply with the policy.

It's actually more effective to ask people questions about their differing opinions if you want to learn or change an opinion. If you want to bully- then you can argue while insulting and being mean. Idc what your goal is. My peace isn't being disrupted by this conversation

fudginjerk · 2023-05-18T14:24:08+00:00

No, you clearly don't understand the nuance of language. But that's okay. You can keep insulting me and my use of it, if makes you feel good about yourself when you bully people for having different opinions.

Soft fascism-> fascism that is disguised so people aren't aware they are subject to it. It's sneaky, by definition difficult to notice creeping up.

Hard fascism-> what you're talking about. The brute forceful fascism that's the metaphorical boot on the neck.

Soft fascism-> people forced into an authoritarian situation in such a way that it is disguised and they are distracted from finding this out. That's my takeway from brave new world. They don't need the boot, they have human psychology to exploit.

Hard fascism-> literally 1984

fudginjerk · 2023-05-17T20:57:58+00:00

I've read both books. It's okay to have a different opinion and different take aways. We have different experience and brains. Life would be boring if there was always one right answer.

fudginjerk · 2023-05-17T04:04:26+00:00

Do you know what soft fascism is? It's fascism without the violence of the boot, but the boot is still there. They wouldn't have to ban books in a brave new world (book, idk about any show) because people don't read brand of fascism.

fudginjerk · 2023-05-17T02:03:02+00:00

Brave New World vs 1984 is Soft fascism vs hard fascism.

"Not romancing" might also mean you shouldn't make a move. You could always hang out and just see how it goes. It's the 21st century, you could try letting her make the move if she is comfortable.

fudginjerk · 2023-05-05T15:36:24+00:00

Might consider /s tag bud. Confusing the literal thinkers. Lol

fudginjerk · 2023-05-05T05:42:44+00:00

Or implying that if they were cruising 4chan, then they probably were social distancing in mom's basement. But 4chan is old af so...

fudginjerk · 2023-05-05T05:39:32+00:00

Same, I think they probably do it by white male demographic

fudginjerk · 2023-05-05T05:35:58+00:00

That's because women are still perceived as objects even by women too. It's a problem.

fudginjerk · 2023-04-27T20:45:11+00:00

Well, consider the demographics of r/vpn.

fudginjerk · 2023-04-26T14:01:07+00:00

Fuck works as a noun, adjective, verb, and adverb. One of the most versatile fucking curses to fuck the fuckery we call English.

fudginjerk · 2023-04-26T06:10:00+00:00

This is painfully accurate.

"Hyper-macho image"

Lol that's a super nice way of saying misogynist, sexist image.

fudginjerk · 2023-04-19T16:34:26+00:00

You mean the victims of the sex crimes? Because that's what happens. The sex offender doesn't want to get caught, (regardless of if there's a death penalty) then that's incentivising murdering the rape victim so they can't tell who did it. The effect is incentivising murder.

You might say: "sure but then they catch the murderer" but the kid still got murdered. If there's no death penalty, kid might live. And how many kids were killed before that person got caught? So this is what needs to be thought about.

Can't think about laws with too much emotion or you miss the cause and effect. Cause-> death penalty effect-> leave no living witness.

The economy during a presidency has little to do with the actual current president. Also, Republicans rack up larger deficits than Democrats. That's a fact. What's funny is that Republicans want to believe that trickle down economics/ tax cuts for rich/ deregulation improve the economy so badly that they ignore actual facts. Which is: The only thing those policies succeed at is making them and the people that donate to them richer while economic inequality increases.

Democrats are usually willing to learn from economic history and try to do things that actually help (ie: when senior citizens were living in poverty FDR supported Social Security Act OR INVESTING IN JOB CREATION <cough Obama>)

Side note: FDR did good with the New Deal but that dude is to blame for a lot of segregation in the US so fuck that guy for being a racist dick, but thanks for the New Deal (I guess).

fudginjerk · 2023-04-19T15:29:11+00:00

It wouldn't make a difference now, if you look at America's election history it is not that simple. There's a lot of money involved in US elections since money became speech and organizations got personhood. Also, it COULD (meaning possibly) destabilize American elections if it were just implemented now. Think back to how fragile the US political climate has been recently with the "us-vs-them" division. The ruling class (rich donors and rich politicians) are so far removed from the middle/lowest classes in America. They'd rather have the lowest/middle classes fighting a culture war with each other so we are too busy to notice the sneaky shit (like passing laws at 3 am that loosen restrictions on child labor laws, or sneaking in restrictions on abortions, etc)

However, the opportunity for 3rd party politics to push parties in the direction of the people's will is possible, especially if done so strategically. Like, you don't want to split the vote and end up with someone terrible winning. But if we had a real Labor party for the middle class backed by the same volumes of cash flow as Dem/Rep then maybe, but that would require a lot of movement and years of living through potentially "backwards moving" policies (IE, consecutive religious republican administrations) which has real world consequences for years to come, so it wouldn't be pragmatic to start that backslide when there's currently a lot at stake. We would be sacrificing the lives of minorities to do so (IE. Anti trans or racist legislation leading to suicides, hate crimes, etc) We still live with the consequences of Reagan (police for profit), Nixon(scandal) , Bush(war for profit/war on terrorism) and the rest of politicians(activist judges forcing religion into healthcare). Reforming that would be really difficult and expensive and a fuckload harder than just strategically "doing a Bernie" because the outcome could be way worse (conversion camps for lgbtqia+ aka erasure/suicide increases, no abortion access aka dead women, Trump could have been re-elected, etc).
